Synopsis

Paul Newman and director Martin Ritt made three revisionist Westerns together over the course of four years. This is the last of them and, in many ways, the most ripe for re-evaluation. Newman plays a white man raised by Native Americans whose perspective is appreciably different from the settlers he comes into contact with. This conflict comes to a head when he finds himself in the middle of stagecoach robbery. A psychologically and sociologically fraught story that nonetheless also manages to be an exciting action film. Adapted from an Elmore Leonard novel.
